ln a swinging sash, it is important tovhave the liller-bar present in the bottom of the upper groore l-l, so that the `lass-pane caunot slide upward after onee being placed in the sash. t'nder ordinary circumstances, a lller-har would not be necessaril Yin the said upper `roove 11, as the filler-har in the lower groove 1.3 would be ample to support the grass-pane in proper relation after initial u isert u in.
